@riffblaster:
i dont know who that is, but anyone with a giant endpoint tattoo is probably someone i dont need to hang with.
Be happy you don't know who it is.
@stever:slaying some extortion and some trash talk at the gym this evening. feels great
Hope it was plagues or the self titled, because their most recent album was a total shitfest.
-
@riffblaster:
here are some basic classic albums that i cant imagine anyone would disagree about.
Bad Brains - Roir Sessions and Rock for Light
Black Flag - Damaged and My War
Cro Mags - Age of Quarrel
Minor Threat - everything
Poison Idea - Pick Your King
Misfits - Earth AD and Walk Among Usthere are a thousand others i could name that some could argue as more important or influential but these albums are at least a good starting point for early hardcore, and could be considered the basis that most modern hardcore spawned from.
Age Of Quarrel is flawless imo.
-
YES!
-
Lando is flexing his mod powers, nice!
riffblaster general - where are you? still go to shows?
last one i went to was the Unbroken/Undertow/Threadbare reunion in SoCal… i'm pretty out of it as far as newer bands.
I'm so stoked this thread exists. I was at that Unbroken show in SoCal too. I also went to their reunuion at Burning Fight in Chicago.
-
I remember that Jesuit show… I may still have the bruises. The great thing about that place is that it was basically setup like house shows in a living room. Did you ever play the Pickle Patch in Santa Barbara? Used to just drive up there and then just crash on the floor after the show.
Wow, glad to see the Pickle Patch mentioned on here. I grew up and currently live in Santa Barbara. I remember some great show at the Pickle Patch; Ensign, Kill Your Idols, Good Clean Fun, Dillinger Escape Plan…
If you remember The Living Room in Goleta, I'm working to get that place up and running again.
-
allan..i agree its crazy that the pickle patch is mentioned on here.. all of my fondest hardcore memories are from the pp and the living room, BANE, IN MY EYES, HIS HERO IS GONE, KID DYNAMITE, AT THE DRIVE (at the pickle patch!) BOYSETSFIRE, ENSIGN, GCF, CONVERGE, CARRY ON, FORMER MEMBERS OF ALFONSIN, MISSING 23RD, STRIFE, EARTH CRISIS….etc etc...too many to name..there were a million great shows at skatestreet and lazerstar as well. i was blessed to have such a good HXC scene in my area growing up..
XALLANX please bring back the living room!
-
if you bring back the living room bring it a bit closer to la. goleta is just way too far
-
Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to geek out at the SELA party because I already had a ticket booked from LA to DC leaving that morning.
Fortunately I got to geek out in another way in DC by stopping by the Dischord House. Yes, I saw the museums and the monuments but this was probably the highlight of my trip.
On another note…
Are any of you going to the FREE Integrity / Ceremony / Pulling Teeth show in LA on 11/13?
-
i'll be at the integ show in b-more coming up.
-
Oh man, I'd love to see ceremony (and would also pay for it ;-))
-
i'll be at integrity. shit came up and i missed them with gehenna, i will not make that mistake again. ceremony seem like nice kids but i just can't get into them.
-
saw the integ/gehenna show in bmore last year and it was quite an event. eyestone was there with me too.
i really love that new ceremony record, i may have already said it in this thread but i think its great. totaly germs/flipper vibe.
-
^yeah, and a bit Black Flag and Fucked up Attitude
-
bummed im at work and not at the free integrity show right now…......
so instead im just moshing at Xself edgeX
-
integrity were pretty good considering its just dwid and some young kids. they played pretty much only the hits.
i'm not a big fan of ceremony but they were a lot of fun to watch and i met anthony the kid who plays guitar and he was a super nice dude.
pulling teeth opened and they were alright. if i were in my late teens or early twenties i would probably be way more into this band.

i dont know if you guys read this blog…you probably do...its super good and they had a rad article today about a three day string of west coast Minor Threat shows in the summer of 82 (setlist above is from a the san diego show)
i would give both legs to go back in time and see this set..
-
Insane. MT are most probaby my favorite hc band of all time. When I saw this, I thought at first you had found or bought this setlist. Insane.
-
about 15 years ago i found a copy of uniform choice - screaming for change in a used record bin. paid 5 bucks for it (i already had the wishingwell pressing but i figured i'd give it to a friend), got home, looked inside it and there was a setlist. what a score.
doublecross is a cool blog, but they sort of only cater to a very specific audience. i like how in depth they get though.
